چکیده

A dendrone is a hierarchical thresholding structure that can be automatically generated from a complex image. The dendrone structure captures the connectedness of objects and subobjects during successive brightness thresholding. Based on connectedness and changes in intensity contours, dendronic representations of objects in images capture the coarse-to-fine unfolding of finer and finer detail, creating a unique signature for target objects that is invariant to lighting, scale, and placement of the object within the image. Subdendrones within the hierarchy are recognizable as objects within the picture. Complex composite images can be autonomously analyzed to determine if they contain the unique dendronic signatures of particular target objects of interest. In this paper, we describe the initial design of the dendronic image characterization environment (DICE) for the generation of dendronic signatures from complex multiband remote imagery. By comparing subdendrones within an image to dendronic signatures of target objects of interest, DICE can be used to match/retrieve target features from a library of composite images. The DICE framework can organize and support a number of alternative object recognition and comparison techniques, depending on the application domain. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A Novel Method for Content Base Image Retrieval Using Combination of Local and Global Features

Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) has been an active research topic in the last decade. In this paper we proposed an image retrieval method using global and local features. Firstly, for local features extraction, SURF algorithm produces a set of interest points for each image and a set of 64-dimensional descriptors for each interest points and then to use Bag of Visual Words model, a cluster...

Shape Retrieval Using Smallest Rectangle Centroid Distance

Shape is one of the main low level features in content based image retrieval systems (CBIR). This paper proposes a novel CBIR technique based on shape feature. In this technique feature extraction is based on a rectangle that covers a shape. The proposed signature is a Fourier based technique and it is invariant against translation, scaling and rotation. The retrieval performance between some c...

Invariant content-based image retrieval by wavelet energy signatures

An effective rotation and scale invariant log-polar wavelet texture feature for image retrieval was proposed. The feature extraction process involves a log-polar transform followed by an adaptive row shift invariant wavelet packet transform. The log-polar transform converts a given image into a rotation and scale invariant but rowshifted image, which is then passed to the adaptive row shift inv...

Object-based Image Retrieval using Local Feature Extraction and Relevance Feedback

This paper addresses the problem of object-based image retrieval, by using local feature extraction and a relevance feedback mechanism for quickly narrowing down the image search process to the user needs. This approach relies on the hypothesis that semantically similar images are clustered in some feature space and, in this scenario: (i) computes image signatures that are invariant to scale an...
